Meta tests messaging feature in Threads: All you need to know

Meta is testing a new feature on its X rival app, Threads. A meta spokesperson confirmed the feature availability on the platform to Engadget saying that the company was “testing the ability to send a message from Threads to Instagram.” The feature relies on Instagram’s inbox but users can now initiate messages from the app. Image Source : LUCAS PUSKARICThreads direct messaging Threads still do not have its own inbox and Instagram head Adam Mosseri has said many times that the company doesn't want to create a separate inbox for Threads. He also mentioned mirroring the Instagram inbox in Threads will lead to challenges such as notification routing and redundant message threads in two different apps. Although the Threads app does not offer a full Direct Messaging feature, it allows users to send messages without switching to Instagram, which can make messaging on Threads less cumbersome.
